The reality though is this discussion is happening because $620 billion worth of corporate money told 3 major Redskins sponsors to do something about it. If they walk, everyone else won't be far behind. And Dan can't have his new stadium in DC if the name isn't changed. I got $20 that says the name gets changed and DC probably gives the RFK land to the Redskins at a deep discount or for free in exchange for less tax dollars going to the stadium.

How do you agree and than point out the fact that he is wrong? We all grew up REDSKINS fans. It sucks that we need to come to this conclusion but it is the right conclusion. 10-20 percent agree because the other 80 fall into the black man using the n word category. If you walked onto any reservation USA tomorrow you would never say yo redskin where is the bathroom? It has racist roots. Plain n simple. Do we as fans mean it in a racist way? No. Not a single one. But again if i started a team tomorrow called the yellow skins with an asian guy as the emblem you would be like dude are u crazy? I think we all just chalk “indians” up to some ancient past that is harmless but it is bigger than that.
